Are you ready for a trip back to a simpler, snappier, and more exciting gaming past? ININ, Tozai Games, Irem, and Strictly Limited Games have got you covered, bringing the big guns with the next chapter of the Irem Collection and promising non-stop action!
If you liked Volume 1 then Air Duel gives you another classic shoot ‘em up challenge for you to sink your teeth in. Once you’ve conquered the skies, raid the armory for guns, helicopters, and tanks to become a one-man army in the run and gun frenzy that is GunForce and its bigger, bolder sequel GunForce II.
Irem Collection Volume 2 is classic arcade action at its best out now!
Do you want to show that you still have what it takes to beat these arcade gems?
Then hop on the digital stores and get running and gunning right now on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Xbox for only €24,99!
They know that you can’t get enough of Irem’s high-speed shooting action. So to celebrate this release you can get double the adrenaline in the Irem Collection Volume 1 & 2 Bundle for a limited time only at €39,99!
Are you charmingly old-school and would rather buy a good old-fashioned boxed version? Then Strictly Limited Games has premium limited physical editions for you to pre-order and add to your collection.
Irem’s arcade history is full of excellent shoot ‘em ups and by the time Air Duel released they had already firmly established themselves in the space with legends of the genre such as Image Fight and X-Multiply (available on Vol. 1) or R-Type. Air Duel spices up the formula by allowing you to choose between a helicopter and a fighter jet whose distinct shooting and movement patterns make for a radically different playing experience. Of course, this game is best enjoyed in the traditional vertical “Tate-Mode”.
Join the GunForce in this pioneering run and gun title. 6 enemy-filled stages and an extensive arsenal of weapons are waiting for you. Rocket launchers, flame throwers, helicopters, and more need to be utilized to their fullest to beat the enemy hordes. Two different versions (SNES & Arcade) of GunForce will test your skills!
Dive into a real pixel art feast for the eyes. Gunforce II’s ultra-high detailed sprites might remind you of a famous game series. This is no coincidence. The team behind Irem’s final arcade title would later form developer Nazca and create the Metal Slug series. Not only does GunForce II serve as a blueprint but it pretty much nails the run and gun formula right away: High-speed, non-stop action, immense gameplay variety in the form of a plethora of weapons and vehicles, all packaged in some of the best 2D graphics of the '90s!
